Product Shout Out of the Day
nails inc. London Magnetic Nails
Buy it here!
What it is:A revolutionary magnetic nail lacquer used to create a stunning 3D fishnet effect. What it does:Create gorgeous nail art in minutes with this revolutionary polish that uses a magnet to create an amazing nail art design. This unique formula has been specially developed with metallic particles to create a fishnet nail effect using magnetic forces. As the magnet is held over the nail, the iron powder in the formulation gravitates toward the magnet forming the pattern hidden in the magnet for an astonishing finish. What else you need to know:Textured, special effects nails are still big news and the ultimate fashion accessory. Choose from three fishnet magnetic polishes named after iconic London locations.
Suggested Usage:-Apply one coat of Kensington Caviar base coat.-Pull off outer cap of magnetic polish and set to one side.-Using the inner cap, apply one coat of magnetic polish to all 10 nails. Leave to dry for 2-3 minutes.-Apply a second thick coat of magnetic polish to one nail. Immediately hold the magnet (built into the outer cap) over the nail while the polish is still wet.-Hold the lip in the cap just below your cuticle to position the magnet over the nail.-Hold the magnet very close to the nail but do not touch the nail.-Remove magnet after a few seconds to reveal the design.-Repeat above on all nails, one nail at a time.-Finish with one coat of Kensington Caviar Top Coat. Precautions:-Flammable
